Wikipedia says Nightwing is confirmed for the film, so I'm guessing it's Damien.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I generally prefer watching anime (when that happens, which isn't often) with the original Japanese.
I like when he does those posts, it save me having to look up who they all are.
According to the press release there will be a Japanese audio track: http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/2018/02/batman-ninja-new-trailer-and-release-date/
I just think it's interesting how often DC Animation productions these days tend to reuse actors who've played certain roles before, and how they draw them from so many different prior sources. Like, Scooby-Doo & Batman mostly reused the Brave and the Bold cast, but brought in Jeffrey Combs from Justice League as the Question, Tara Strong from the video games as Harley & Ivy, and Tom Kenny from The Batman as the Penguin (though sounding more like an imitation of B&TB's Stephen Root Penguin than like Kenny's own Penguin).
I'd be surprised if there weren't.

So harsh!
Where's Bruce Campbell as 'Ash'?
I completely forgot that this was coming out earlier this month (well, late April digitally) until yesterday, so I only just watch it...and loved it, the absurd bits and all.
As I expected from watching the trailers, I loved the animation style, particularly how some of the slower and still parts felt hand-painted, complete with a great blending of Japanese anime and typical Batman animation. The structure of the film itself felt like it could easily be broken down into four episodes for broadcast (undoubtedly intentional) and each part worked fairly well on their own, combining into a largely cohesive overall story. That said, the third and fourth parts ran away from the casual Japanese steampunk palette of the first two parts by upping the absurdity factor with battle castles transforming into large robots, as well as whatever was going on with the monkey and bat swarms.
In addition to the overall fun nature of the film, there was plenty of great humor and the antics of the Joker and Harley reminded me of the Chief Blue Meanie and Max from Yellow Submarine, particularly in the first act. However, the funniest moment for me came early on in the film when Batman tried to flee the scene with the grappling gun, only to realize there were no tall buildings in the village.
I didn't expect much of a story, fully prepared for extravagant style over substance, so I wasn't surprised to see the film falling into the typical Batman versus Joker scenario, just one that played out longer than usual with small asides with Grood. I was initially disappointed by the Riddler's absence but it's just as well considering the Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and Deathstroke were reduced to glorified henchmen for either the Joker or Grood (not a shock considering the film is overstuffed with everything).
Overall, a lot of damn fun and I would definitely watch a sequel, in whatever form that would take.

Yeah, watched as well on Monday, and I agree with each and everything you said. Beautiful, fascinating and completely bonkers.
I'm glad someone agrees! I sure more people than just us who watched and loved it.

Was it some kind of joke? Otherwise it's really mean spirited and out of left field.
Superman: Unbound was already five years ago. While there have been some animated DC "team" movies since then, Batman seems to have been the only character to be featured in his own animated movies for quite a while.
I am definitely looking forward to The Death of Superman. I still remember when I was a young lad waiting in a long line with my dad to buy the comic. He dragged me along so I could buy another copy for him, as the purchase limit was one per customer, and he thought it would be worth a lot of money someday.
